<p>We have tags in the issue tracker for some features, such as <code>F-non_exhaustive</code> that have been stabilised since. Should we be actively removing tags for stabilized features?</p>

<p>The problem with that is then it will be harder to go back and find those issues. Maybe we rename them somehow instead?</p>

<p>yeah, I saw an issue and figured I'd add an <code>F-</code> tag to it, but then spent 20 minutes pondering if I should given the feature is stable already</p>

<p>How about for now once a feature is stable, we rename it to <code>Fstable-{feature-name}</code> or something like that, to make it clear that it is a stable feature?</p>

<p>We kinda have <code>A-</code> for that I think.</p>

<p>renaming <code>F-feature</code> to <code>A-feature</code> when stabilized sounds good to me</p>

<p>and if there's both, just delete F-feature (maybe with automation to be sure A-feature gets added if not present)</p>

<p>We could also just change the description from  <code>#![feature(...)]</code> to something else.</p>

<p>Whatever we choose to change the label name/description to, I don't think we should delete feature labels</p>
